In the United States, a new hub for extrusion lines and dies

At a
ceremony in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, United States, Nordson Corporation
celebrated the groundbreaking for a new world headquarters for its EDI
extrusion and Premier fluid coating product lines, one that will include
advanced equipment for enhancing die quality and more efficient systems for
serving customers.

The 13,500
sqm facility will be located in an industrial park near three existing Nordson
sites in Chippewa Falls, including the current EDI headquarters and extrusion
die manufacturing facility; a plant for Premier dies and all aftermarket
service; and a technology center for research and development (R&D) and
laboratory trials. Relocation of these operations to the new facility will
begin in the summer of 2019 and be complete by late 2020.

Nordson
also will enhance production efficiency with new state of the art equipment.
“The new global hub for our EDI brands will redefine the way that dies are
built,” said John J. Keane, executive vice president in charge of Nordson’s
Polymer Processing Systems (PPS) business. “Advanced manufacturing equipment
will streamline workflow and produce dies with tighter tolerances. A complete
reconfiguration of our operation will integrate people and resources previously
deployed in separate locations, generating collaboration and synergy that will
improve the customer experience and reduce lead times”.

Further
investment in the Chippewa Falls facility planned by Nordson in the next few
years will purchase still more new equipment as well as paying to upgrade
existing systems. The building site includes room for expansion of up to 7,360
sqm.
